Misery loves company.

Thanks bro

Thanks bro. Yes, the healing from the surgery with the incisions might take 4-6 weeks to heal. Then PT will do the rest.

Thanks bro. Absolutely, it is frustrating especially when its a tear and cant heal without pretty much surgery. PT did help stabilize, strenghten the surrounding areas of the injury. But thats only good for average joe who doesnt lift, or engage in stressful physical activities.

I hear that. Make sure you follow up with two different type of orthopedic surgeons. One who specializes in shoulders/knees only and one who specializes overall for the body as an orthopedic surgeon. If PT didnt work, and its a tear whether its small/big then i'd suggest possibly looking into surgery after doing your best with the natural way of rehabilitation. Good luck bro!

Lol! Not exactly. At first it was suggested to let the injury heal and make the shoulder better the natural way by tightening up the surrounding muscles to keep the shoulder tight and stable in the socket through PT. That did work, but partially. Plus shoulder wasnt strong enough for exercising more than 15-20lbs dumbbells, or going to the gym 3-4 times a week or doing chest or some shoulder exercises. Then also taking into consideration my hectic job schedule, expensive insurance, never had surgery before and other life related issues which prevented me from doing surgery and the whole post PT process. So i'd say about 6-7yrs.

-If you need surgery and make sure you do your homework, its better to get the surgery done while you're young to get a speedy full recovery.

How long has it been since you had your shoulder surgery and physical therapy done.

Lol thank you sir, wish a speedy recovery for your two bros too.

Thanks bro, sorry to hear about your injury too. But it's all about the iron training, trials and errors.

Thanks bro. Sorry to hear about your injury. Give us some insight on how it happened, the specific type of injury and what not. That way we could try to help as much as possible.

Thanks bro. And I understand where you coming. The pain and suffering isnt easy to deal with, but its part of life and just have to accept the facts. I think your circumstances shouldnt phase you too much due to the knowledge, and understanding you have of what you're going through. As you know, it could always be worse which is something I tell myself too, it somewhat helps keep me grounded and acceptive towards pain and suffering when it comes to injuries and rehabilitation. Good luck.

 

Will do thanks bud!

I read it and I think you just have to give it time and go based on how your body responds to the recovery phase. Dont set up pyramids of a set time of when things must be good. The body is a healing process, not a machine. But wish you the best hope all's well soon. And remember surgery and physical therapy is very psychological.

Lol! Thanks bro will take your good advice.

Thanks and sorry to hear about the recovery time. What type of injury did you have. And how reputable or good was your orthopedic surgeon and physical therapist.

Well said. Although right now I have no pain and great range of motion, but the shoulder isnt stable enough to handle medium weights or stress from exercising without causing pain in the shoulder. Otherwise for somebody who doesnt work out, the condition my shoulder is now would be good enough for that only.

Thanks, and damn sorry to hear that. Why 6 times? I do know back surgeries are more complex than my type of surgery. But what caused the back injury, and did you not find a reputable back surgeon and also find a good physical therapist.

Thanks bro

Thanks, but what can I say bro? I was young and dumb, and to this day I remember I was too angry that day too from getting into it with my old man. As far as another sport, working out will always be there but i want to get back to swimming again too.

What's up fellas, I've been MIA for two weeks but just stopping through. I have my arthroscopic surgery scheduled for tomorrow. It's for a labral tear in my shoulder. Surgery will be done by an orthopedic surgeon of a national hockey team who specializes in shoulders and knees only. This is an old injury from 7 years ago at the gym from doing behind the neck barbell presses heavy without a spotter. But I'm getting a second chance here to fix the partial tear, and be back in the gym down the road. Hope all's well with the rest of ya'll.

What the hell is going on with this fella.

Lol!

Dude please dont tell us you're using a 90's flip phone.
